This is a great shop with a great selection but the best part by far is the outstanding customer service. I was being helped by Neil and Pablo who went above and beyond to help me! Huge thanks to them from a happy customer. 5 star review. read more

Nice collection of vintage military clothing options. A few gems to be found. Incredibly busy store with a lot of people in a small space but that speaks to its quality. Prices are good and there are a number of well organized racks. It's worth a visit. I think they are doing what they can to keep a small space functional. Found a few good items here and had a nice visit. Check it out. read more

A friend of mine wanted to stop by this vintage shop, so i tagged along and checked it out. This store is a treasure mine. It was really cool to see all the old vintage clothing, and I could see how these styles are bound to come into style in the States (where I am from). I found a lot of great things for reasonable prices, and the selection here is grand! All the clothing looked new/relatively new, and the clothes didn't smell too bad, as most vintage/second hand stores are. I really wanted to buy the Rokit brand jackets out near the front, I loved one of them, but it wasn't in my price range. Definitely check this place out, you never know what great things you can find! read more

I'm not boasting when I say I'm a vintage aficionado. Living in East London it's difficult not to be. This is the home of a very particular retro-inspired aesthetic, fueled in no small part by the myriad vintage stores that line Brick Lane and the Shoreditch Triangle. Although I'm a big fan of Absolute Vintage's sister store, Blondie, the smaller Rokit shop on Brick Lane always came a close second. It used to stock a good selection of true vintage with gems including original Art Deco silk crepe kimonos and good quality vintage coats from the fiftes and sixties at reasonable prices. But recently something seems to have gone awry. The change is almost imperceptible but I sense that Rokit has a new buyer. This can be the only reason that its once faultless stock has ever so slightly gone down the metaphorical pan. Don't get me wrong, there is still the occasional unusual and beautiful vintage piece amongst the scratchy mohair jumpers and 70's polyester, but some of the prices - £200 for an acrylic 1920s housecoat?! - seem to be more inflated than an overvalued banker's bonus; and in the current climate this simply doesn't wash. read more

Rokit - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - London, XGL

Rokit on Brick Lane is a great place to sniff out a good vintage bargain. The shop is split into two blocks so if you can't find anything in the first there's still hope a couple of doors down. Like the other Rokits in London they have great shoes and bags but this one seems to offer more cool coats and jackets than the other stores. They also have a few crazier styled clothes that would be hilarious for fancy dress; last time I was in there they had a good selection of 80s luminous all in one ski suits. The staff in here are friendly and the prices are always reasonable. read more

The more upmarket vintage clothing shop "Rokit "definitely has more picked out pieces and is much more expensive. Much more trend driven the windows are always really nicely styled and they often have choice pieces in the windows. Being Xmas and all they have good selection of sequins and gold in the window . Prices range from £100 for a boxy blue velvet length coat with jewelled buttons and £90.00 for a gold leather mini skirt and bat wing 80'S matching jacket (a sure party hit !!) Rokit always have nice bags and accessories sometimes shoes too although they are often small. Another Rokit staple is the 50's crinoline they always seem to have a great supply! read more

In a street that boasts as many vintage shops as tentacles has an octopus; this one stands out for a pristine selection of vintage pieces. This boutique is different form the others from the moment you walk in and don't have that particular smell of old most vintage shops have, you hear cool music, like cut copy, and find well organized racks of shoes, clothes, bags, hats... the works. The girls that work there are really approachable as well. The only down side of such a smooth vintage experience, is the price of the items. So I guess I would qualify it as a posh vintage shop. read more

Rokit Ltd. is just around the corner from Rough Trade, nestled among a handful of vintage clothing shops. This is the most reasonably priced and casual of the shops. Inside, the store is crammed full of older style hoodies, t shirts, dresses and accessories. Stuff for geezers and birds. I found an awesome woolly scarf here which I purchased as a souvenir for a friend. Don't tell my buddy, but it only cost 2 pounds! read more

A smallish but quite on-trend selection of vintage clothes for boys and girls. I walked in for the first time today after eyeing up their window candy the last 2 weeks, and came away with some sunglasses and a white jumper. for 30 quid.. so, yeh it could be cheaper but since its a nice selection I won't moan too much. Good to try for a special occasion or that one must-have item as they seem to select pieces carefully to be more of generic tastes hoping to find that happy medium of a vintage on-trend store that mirrors the high street. Anyway..staff were friendly once they realised i was waiting to pay, and i got rather large paper bag out of it too... Also, the shop has that vintage smell of old leather and mustiness.. personally, i dont like it but some people think that's how Vintage should smell! read more

Hit or miss for me at Rokit. I can walk in one day and love everything or just not really be into it. Gently used clothing, bags and shoes and cheap plastic jewellery. Also new stuff like purses, hats and watches. Loads of "quirky" jumpers (the oddest find being a sweatshirt for my alma mater, Arizona State U, what the what?) and retro pants suits. Denim cut offs, vintage scarves, used watches. You know, it's the kind of place that does all the hard work of pawing through the thrift stores (or charity shops, to my British friends) to find the trendy stuff (by hipster-y East London standards, anyway) and marks it up from 50p to £15 for the effort. I also like the size of it - good selection but not too overwhelming. A good layout that allows you to hone in on what you're looking for (denim, shoes, sunglasses) without a lot of digging and shoving. read more

This review is for the Rokit stores in Brick Lane. I will never ever return to them on a Sunday when the market is on. It's just a headache waiting to happen. You cannot move due to the large influx of people that descend upon the stores. That combined with the mothball old musty smell does not make for a pleasant shopping experience. The stuff here is not particularly great either. I'm sure youre bound to find some gems if youre willing to root around, but like I said, impossible on a Sunday because you willed be pushed around with no room to move. Also there are two locations that are just a few doors away from each other. weird. A lot of the stuff I did manage to see was not even vintage. There was a large selection of past season Topshop/River Island rejects. Also their levi cutoffs are hideously overpriced. Cheaper than Urban Outfitters, but still. Just ebay a pair of 501's and cut them yourself. I'm planning to come back another day and hopefully have a better experience. read more

There are two Rokits side by side on Brick Lane. I much prefer the boutque style Rokit with the slightly more expensive clothes. The window display of this Rokit gets me everytime, it's always inventive and colourful and fully inspires me to go in and have a browse. I've never purchased too much from this shop as I feel it's a little over priced but if you have the cash you can pick up a cool skirt or a snazzy pair of vintage shoes. The cheaper Rokit is pretty bog standard. The selection of women's and men's vintage is great but I've never really picked up anything really special here. I'd definitely save my pennies and opt for the more expensive shop - it's totally inspiring vintage at it's best. read more

I absolutely love Rockit, but i know people that hate it and bitch about them being overpriced and not stocking anything decent. Maybe i've just been lucky when i've been in either of these shops, becuase i struggle to leave empty handed, even if it means not eating for a week. I prefer the more casual of the two shops, which has a great tee shirt collection, and during the summer they were offering two for a tenner, amazing. They always have a good selection of shoes and boots too. If you find yourself on Brick Lane, wanting to dip your toes into vintage, this is a pretty safe place to start. read more

Glen S. the naysayer strikes again... Rokit is silly. Perhaps I should start dressing in drag. Finding good vintage for men in London is like searching for the Holy Grail. Seriously. Rokit is so BIG. There should be more options. Right? Positives at Rokit for lads: Coats (overpriced) Printed Ts (overpriced and also, what? is this a strokes video from 2001?) For ladies: fine. Go for it. Enjoy your vintage. Thumbs stuffed firmly in pockets. read more

With two shops near each other on Brick Lane, there's certainly something to be found for every knid of vintage lover in Rokit. They offer a wide range of clothing and accessories, from denim jackets to maxi-length prom dresses to what appears to be an extensive men's range to lots of shoes... pretty much everything! They even have reconstructed leather bags on sale, some of which I really really covet, but, alas, due to lack of space at home and an on-going austerity drive, I have had to forego. At the same time, Rokit's prices do seem a little higher than the other vintage shops in the area, and more in line with the shops you might find in the West End. They can probably get away with it because of their reputation, and the fact that their quality checks do seem to be better than some of the other shops, but, as cocoalush stated, I have found it hard to part with my hard-earned cash here, and would rather invest my time looking for more reasonably-priced yet good quality alternatives instead of paying over the odds. read more

Rokit flies me to the moon, seriously. First of all, Brick Lane is cool as fuck. I was so chuffed to discover it for the first time on the way to my friend's old flat in Mile End. Get off at Bethnal Green, ten minutes walk, then BOOM! - shopping and eating galore! Rokit is one of the reasons I love this area so much. Admittedly this area is hoaching with vintage shops, but in my humble opinion this is one of the best. Row upon row of denim, sparkly, furry old jumpers and some kick ass belts. I like the layout, the staff are cool and I didn't think it was that expensive last time I was there. I was expecting some hefty London tax but I managed to bag an awesome old hat for 4 quid that is outstanding quality. Christ, I am bigging this place up so much this is almost a "suspicious 5 star review", mwahaha. Sadly I am just hot for this place big time. I'm from Glasgow and the vintage shops are pretty good here. They are more expensive than this though. When I visit London I expect eye poppingly expensive attire, but Rokit was affordable in my opinion for what you got! Bloomin' marvellous. read more

Rockit has one of the best selections of handbags, shoes, and sweaters. Brick Lane has great character during the weekend especially Sunday wih the food hall and all the delicious food! Some of the workers in Rokit are a little rude but most of them are really ncie and are there to help. I think the prices are really high for certain objects. It is color coordinated and organized by pants, sweaters, jackets, etc, read more

Definitely one of my new favourite shops ! I love vintage clothing but i really am to lazy to find the rare pearl in a messy thrift shop. Plus, i hate disorder and chaos (damn OCD !). This shop was my gem. All is second-hand vintage items but it's presented as in a real store to the point i wasn't sure it wasn't (a normal store) at first. I believe they also washed and groomed everything well (no weird odours, looks like new) They have everything from shoes to jackets, coats, sweaters, jewellery, bags, hats etc. All is very organised, stowed by genre, so it's almost too easy to find what you're looking for. For me, it was a very specific kind of coat. I found it right away, almost passed out of emotion after these long months looking for it, and skipped of joy into the shop for the next 15 minutes (i'm not even kidding, i'm an intense person, sorry). I found a few other items i'll purchase another time, but if i could, i'd buy half of that shop. They offer a wide price range, from a couple of pounds to £50 items (high quality, leather etc). So i think everybody can find something for their wallet. They gave me a free tote bag for my purchase amount was £50. I know i am WAY too excited about it but i collect tote bags so you see where the trepidation comes from. The staff members were really nice and very fashionable. Good representatives of their store. read more

Did I just hit Rokit on a good day? The 20 quid winter coat I bought was enough to earn them 5 stars, but the inexpensive silk scarf and pearl earrings sealed the deal. read more

Yet another vintage shop on Brick lane, two shops side by side selling its wares to the fashion hungry Shoreditch residents, and tourists alike. I've found some beautiful pieces here but the price tag doesn't usually match the item. With such stiff competition you'd think the prices would be more reasonable but Rokit certainly do a roaring trade and don't seem to be needing to lower the prices to draw in more customers. The smaller of the two shops is more of a Boutique, catering mostly for the ladies, fur coats, sparkling 1920's dresses and vintage designer jackets always tempt me inside. The oh so stylish staff have always been friendly and helpful, although I've heard they can be a tad snooty. The only problem I have is when I come across a fabulous dress only to find the price tag. read more

They have a good selection but staff is arrogant and not friendly. We had a voucher just expired and they wouldn't make any effort and have a "the computer says no" attitude. Used to be a regular customer but won't go again. We understand we voucher cannot redeem the whole value of an expired voucher but they could've given us some kind of discount on the 45 pounds spent. Very disappointed. read more

I always think I am going to SCORE at Rockit. I do adore it- it is like a super hot guy: looks great from the outside, but I just NEVER actually find that great gem inside. The perfect place for the "new to vintage" customer- lots of great pieces, a bit overpriced, lots of the basic polyester, "I am trying to be "alternative" type stuff. I have been vintage shopping for longer than I want to post (um, try centuries!), so I am jaded. You are better off making the trek to Pop in Manchester. But then, it will be picked over, and there will be NOTHING left for moi.... read more

Living down the lane from Rockit, I find myself popping in there on a more-than-regular basis. And I'm rarely disappointed, with something in there I long to by on every visit. Higher quality than some of the other vintage stores in the area, Rockit stocks a tight range from every era of last century. Staff are often too-cool-for-school which can tend to get annoying, and prices, whilst reasonable for some things, are totally excessive for other items. Amazing collection though. read more

If you like vintage then you will like looking round this shop, however you might well stop and think why I am paying such high prices? There is definetly an extensive range of all styles of vintage clothing, but £15 for a belt seems a bit much. This store is in brick lane so you can probably get away with charging above the odds, especially with vintage being so in vogue. I'd definetly go here for some inspiration as the way the store is laid out is cool and always looks good, but it may well be worth seeing if you can find something similar in your local charity shop for a whole lot less money. I do see things I like but I cant bare to part with my hard earned cash when I know there are cheaper alternatives out there. read more

This place has a great selection of in-style clothing and one-piece suits as well! The pricing is a bit high for me but I'd buy a lot of items from here if I had the money. They have colorful and well-chosen materials for blazers, overalls, trendy belts, etc. The selection is fitting for Londoners looking for a tweek to complement pieces from generic stores on Oxford Street. read more

I visited Rockit in early January. I liked it, and would recommend that you go if you like vintage clothing. Here's the thing: the selection at Rokit is better than at other vintage stores, HOWEVER a lot of it is overpriced! Overall, I would consider my trip to the shops a moderate success, because it can be hit or miss. Bonus: the sale section was terrific! I found some cute sweaters for 2 pounds. Here are my issues with the store: ** Rude sales associates. I don't need some pouty, whiny bleached-blonde in her mid-twenties to give me attitude. One of the lowest service experiences I have ever had. ** The prices are a little too high. Besides the sale section, which like I said before, ROCKED, the prices are fairly high. Especially since they aren't carrying many name brands. Paying 85-100 pounds for a jeans jacket just doesn't make sense to me. Other than that, I would go again, because I found some pieces that I liked. But it might be a bit of a painful experience. read more

Awful experience at Rok it Hair Kawana! I wanted to return to my natural hair colour (brown).. I walked out with black roots and chocolate brown lengths. I returned the following day for a clarifying shampoo which did nothing at all. The lights in the salon are misleading and they couldn't care less about customer satisfaction. It cost me $190 for a botched colour and to add to the insult, I've had to spend more money on deep cleansing shampoo (to try and wash the colour out myself), hats and headbands to get me through the week and will have to pay another hairdresser to try and get this fixed next week. And of course to add the time wasted on fixing this mess. You want to walk out of a salon feeling good.. instead Im embarrassed and riddled with anxiety :( Big Fat Boo from me! read more

works in a pinch but the selection isn't as good as blondie or as vast as absolute vintage. pricing seemed a bit high for the quality, but i guess, that's london. read more

My favourite place to shop in London! Good choise of clothes all unique and well maintened!

Vintage at its best. This store is in brick lane so convenient, although a bit pricey for some items. I visit generally to get some inspiration. There are other good fashion / jewellery stores (mostly vintage) in the area as well. (Religion / Urbiana / Sunday Upmarket) read more
